ASK LENA Q & A
EDITION!
===========================
My answers
to readers question come from 20+ years as a Medical Office Nurse along
with my ongoing education in nutritional and alternative
treatment modes along
with my many years of friendship with Dr. Wayne Garland,
a very knowledgeable naturopath and herbologist, who
many years ago, beat his cancer death sentence given by
the traditional medical world, has helped me along this
path and
hopefully help to give hope to those who need it... I
also receive a lot of study reports and try to ascertain
if they are good or bad and report them to you, which
has increased my knowledge and I pass them on to you to
use or not...
I am not a doctor or dentist and you should not think of
me as one!!
My years observing life and health of the many
people/patients around me and the contradictions of the
traditional medical world's idea of treating -
prescription domino effect - while watching those same
schooled methods that aren't relieving illness but
creating far more than they help. Those same medical
professionals aren't telling people how to get healthy
or how to prevent illness, which led me to look for
something to change that premise for myself and those
around me. In looking outside the Westernized medical
profession I found and continue to find alternatives
that really work to create health and longevity -when
adhered to - beyond anything the traditional medical
world can do...

QUESTION:
Hello Lena,
I hope you can help me. I have issues relating to sex. I
get UTI's regularly after having sex and now take one
antibiotic (every night that I have sex) to prevent the
infection. Well, that is working but gives me yeast
infections on a regular basis. I often get bacterial
infections that require more antibiotics. I have one
partner and have had this problem for years. I recently
read about peroxide douches preventing bacterial
infections and stabilizing the pH balance. However, I
also have read that women should never douche. I started
taking probiotics about two months ago but I can't
really tell a difference.
I am 43 and all my problems stop if I stop having sex.
However, I love my partner and find that not to be an
option. I do not have pain or discomfort during sex just
reoccurring UTI's and occasionally bacterial infections
(and yeast from the antibiotics). Any suggestions.
Please do not put my full name in your article or if you
could just answer me personally.
Thank you so much. My GYN doesn't seem concerned that I
am on antibiotics every day.
Leslie
ANSWER:
After asking some questions of Leslie and getting the
answers then answering her as I always do, here is my
answer to her;
Leslie,
It seems two things may be going on to create your UTI
as well as those symptoms mimicking UTI's, proven by
negative bacterial tests.
You are absolutely right that ongoing antibiotic is not
good for you and your physician has no clue as they are
schooled that it is good for you. I will say that having
intercourse is not the problem but creates an atmosphere
for you to feel what is going on. I'm trusting your
partner has been checked and found negative for sexually
transmitted infections/bacteria or you wouldn't be
asking...
Let's start with the douche theory you mentioned:
Anyone who says douching pushes the bacteria further
into the system has no basis to make that statement, yet
is a possibility if you simply douche with a regular
cleansing douche, though not proven to be so... A
cleansing douche, as some women believe necessary, is
setting the area up to be more sensitive and short
circuiting the vaginal cleansing process that happens
naturally and only serves to give peace of mind for that
woman who thinks she has cleansed herself... BUT;
there are good douches that help and can strengthen the
tissues in the vaginal area making it hard for bacteria
to grow, explained below...
First; For someone in your position I would
recommend; Douche every other day for a week or
two with 1 teaspoon liquid minerals to a quart of warm
filtered/purified water (mixed well),
which will build up your tender tissues making it less
likely to grab bacteria. The tenderness and weakness of
the skin in that are is one reason bacteria can easily
get into your system thus making the tissues stronger is
a plus. But along with the douches you need to take -
by mouth - 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of
liquid minerals in juice twice a day
to help the rest of your organs become stronger and
healthier along with building your immune system
necessary to fights bacteria in the body.
Since you have been on long term antibiotics you will
definitely have to be taking a strong
Probiotic
with meals and at bedtime for months to come, just
to replace and keep the natural flora in your intestinal
system because antibiotics kill good and bad bacteria in
the body. Good being the fighters of bad. With the flora
dead you are also most likely facing a stomach lining
deterioration at some point in time if not corrected and
kept up... As a strong good bacteria presence
(probiotic) stomach and intestinal system will not only
keep the body free of bacteria but help rid it of
bacteria that is lurking as well as not allow it to take
hold in your body.
If you should come down with a vaginal yeast infection -
shows itself with vaginal or vulva itching and/or white
milky to cottage cheesy looking discharge from the
vagina - which may be happening by the burning along
with pain on urinating. That again is from dead
intestinal flora in the body. Getting rid of the vaginal
yeast is easy with a douche. Make douche water with 1
Tablespoon
Ionic
Silver Water to a quart of warm water and most of
the time the infection vanishes overnight, but can
reappear at any time if you continue the antibiotic or
has allowed candida/yeast to take over other parts of
your body. Silver Water is my choice of antibiotic for
candida or any bacteria/virus/fungus as Ionic Silver
Water does not kill the natural flora and also helps
build the immune system rather than destroy it as
chemical antibiotics do.
As to why you are having this constantly? I suspect
the following as a very strong possibility in tandem!
Weak, thinning vaginal tissue is not the only factor
to open you to infections but I would swear that the
following is another most likely contributing factor,
since the UTI and/or UTI symptoms occur so frequently
with you... You are not alone as I use to see lots of
women in the doctor's office complaining of the same
thing... A hormonal imbalance contributes to weakened
vaginal tissue and after the age of 25 is far more
prevalent than anyone actually knows... The conventional
medical world doesn't recognize that it's happening. At
least 99% of them don't. I talk to or get emails from at
least a dozen women a week that all the symptoms point
to the hormonal fluctuations that are occurring and when
we get them balanced the problems go away.
Most women would rather think it isn't so but;
In this day and age with all the chemicals (pesticides,
fertilizers, herbicides) vegetables and fruits as
well as hormones in the foods (dairy & meats mostly),
lotions, shampoos, conditioners, water, nutrient
deficient foods that have no health value and the nasty
environment we should say why not these kinds of
complaints occur from hormone and testosterone
imbalances since all those things are known as hormone
interrupters...
This is happening in childhood earlier and earlier and
if not corrected only gets worse as a person ages, hence
we see lots of infertility happening also because of
those imbalances. Slight to periodic hormone
imbalance symptoms are; weak and thin tissue
in the vaginal area, hair falling out, dry skin, hair
and eyes as well sleep problems and/ or nervousness.
Severe hormone imbalances causes all or some of
those things along with hot flashes and mood swings from
happy to sad and back again, sometimes so severe as to
the point of suicide. The only accurate way to test
hormones is to have serum drawn every half hour for 12
to 18 hours, because the fluctuations can be so drastic
at any given moment, and the doctor's simply will not do
them due to the cost... Symptoms are the only true way
of knowing. Those symptoms may only be one or all of the
above or anything in between.
Over time hormone fluctuations weaken the thyroid to the
point of having serious thyroid problems (growths,
tumors or swelling, hypo or hyper - thyroidism).
And sometimes a thyroid problem creates the hormone
problems that cause the problems above...
Correction cannot occur overnight or even the first week
or two but with patience and adhering to a hormone
balancing protocol it changes lives for women all over
the world.
Which one or a combination of all is happening to you? I
have no idea without doing some testing, not blood tests
either. Thyroid blood tests can show normal when in fact
the thyroid is in deep distress. Hormone tests can be
normal yet your female system is totally out of sync, so
not an accurate diagnosing mode either. My daughter's
battery of thyroid tests were ALL normal even after she
was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I had suspected since
her early teens that she had a thyroid problem but all
her physicals and thyroid and hormone blood test were
normal right through and during her cancer treatments -
natural herbal/nutrient protocol- and she is now 46
cancer and symptom free... So I hold no confidence in
those blood tests.
To balance those hormones will require three things.
Balancing the minerals content (1/2 to 1
teaspoon, in juice, twice a day) along with a
natural
thyroid supplement (3 drops in 4 ounces of water
on empty stomach morning and evening) along with
Balanced
Woman Herbal Master Formula (start with 1 capsule
three times a day and go from there depending on
symptoms) to work on the female anatomy to balance
the hormones.
I've given you a few things to look into and see which
works for you so let me know how you do?
PS: Follow up emails from Leslie;
Thank you again for taking so much of your time to help
me. I will order the liquid minerals and silver water
today and start that immediately. I do have
hypothyroidism and have been on Synthroid since my early
20's (now 43). My annual physicals show my levels are
normal so my dosage hasn't been changed since first
diagnosed. My question is would I take the Synthroid
with the thyroid supplement or would that be too much? I
am willing to try anything as I have often thought many
of my problems are thyroid related.
My response to her;
You are welcome. My goal in life is to help others learn
alternatives that can truly make them healthy, rather
than mask problems...
As for taking Synthroid with the natural. No you will
not. First know that those thyroid tests are mostly
useless as most of the time tests will read normal even
when they aren't... We will have to experiment with the
amount of Atomized Iodine until we reach what's right
for you. Symptoms are the best predictor of where you
are and with your symptoms I would say thyroid and
female system not functioning properly... My daughter
has now settled in with 4 drops Atomized Thyroid morning
and evening but in the beginning before we were able to
shrink the tumors of her thyroid cancer she had to do
graduated doses, as do all thyroid and hormone
dysfunction people. Starting with 3 drops in 4 ounces
of purified/filtered (not distilled) water morning and
evening then Increase by 1 drop twice a day until
taking 8 drops twice daily, then stop for 3 days and
start the process again. She did this for about 3
months then settled in at 4 drops twice a day. The
graduated version triggers the thyroid and is valuable
in helping it to begin working better. But you will need
to be on it for the rest of your life as there will be
damage that can't be repaired. How much in your case I
don't know, only time will tell...
So we know my evaluations that both systems aren't
functioning as they should is correct and triggered your
hormonal fluctuations now. Time to work on the hormone
system in order to get total thyroid balance, as they
work together reason for your tender vaginal tissues,
which means taking
Balanced
Woman formula (B.W.) 2 or 3 capsules three times a
day for three months or so, then providing both systems
are brought into balance most likely cut back to 1 or 2
capsules three times a day or possibly 3 twice a day.
Time will tell... Again my daughter started with 3 B.W.
three times a day and after six months now only takes 2
morning and 2 evening. Symptoms are non-existent and
tumors dissolved for her and hope we can say the same
for your improvement in a few weeks or months.
Rest assured Dr. Garland and I will be here to monitor
and work with you toward a better health pattern and by
doing that a better sex life.

A
MOUNTAINTOP VIEW
A police car pulled up in front of an
older woman's house, and her husband climbed out. The
polite policeman explained that "this elderly gentleman"
said that he was lost in the park and couldn't find his
way home.
"How could it happen?" asked his wife. "You've been
going to that park for over 30 years! How could you get
lost?"
Leaning close to her ear so that the policeman couldn't
hear, he whispered, "I wasn't lost - I was just too
tired to walk home."
These bodies become less cooperative as we age. For
some, work becomes less fun and fun becomes more work.
One older friend commented, "I've reached the age where
the warranty has expired on my remaining teeth and
internal organs."
But I like the spirit of Charles Marowitz. "Old age is
like climbing a mountain," he says. "The higher you get,
the more tired and breathless you become. But your view
becomes much more extensive."
Atop the mountain, one has a better view of the world.
One can see above the differences that divide people.
One can better see beyond petty hurts and human
fragility. Atop the mountain, one has a longer view of
the past and can therefore understand the future with
more clarity. Atop the mountain, one looks down on dark
clouds of gloom and despair and fear and notices that
they are neither as large nor as ominous as those
beneath them would believe. It is also clearer that
however dark they may appear, they too, are fleeting and
will someday pass.
George Bernard Shaw said, "Some are younger at seventy
than most at seventeen." I think it is because they have
a broader outlook.
It will take a lifetime to climb the mountain, but, for
me, the view will be worth the journey.
